"1. Tell us a little about your latest release. What might a fan or listener not grab the first or second time they listen through? Are there any hidden nuggets the band put in the material or that only diehard fans might find?

“Spikes Groove” is our newest single and my favorite song on the record. It’s more jazz influenced than any other song on the EP and that’s a huge part of my band’s background. I am in love with the Wurlitzer parts in this song, which don’t necessarily jump out at you at first. It’s a beautiful sparkle and adds such a trippy vibe."

"Stelle Amor has a mission to “serenade the world,” inspiring people through her music and spreading the message of love and unity.

Stelle’s introduction to music came from her parents playing classic rock, blues, and country albums in their home. She began writing around the same time other kids were learning to ride a bike. In addition to performing her songs at small venues in Louisville, Stelle would sneak into Stevie Ray’s Blues Bar (she was only 18) and sit in with the band, improvising lyrics and singing the blues. “Singing with those blues bands is when I realized my true calling as an artist and performer,” she says."
